RBKC - Day centres, drop-in centres and hubs for older people in Kensington and Chelsea

This list is provided for your convenience. We have no reason to believe that these organisations do not provide a reliable, high-standard service but do check carefully what they offer, whether they are right for you, and how much they charge. Some are open all week but some only on certain days, so do contact them first before travelling.

For a wide choice of other activities for people of all ages and abilities, check out the People First Events calendar.
